Allyson,

I don't know if you are a slow reader for YA fiction, but this is YA. That's most of the reason why I could read the trilogy in 3 days. If this were adult fiction, it would have taken me longer.

Zenkitty,

le nubian, I have a spare bedroom in a quiet neighborhood! You could hide here. No one will ever find you.

So, I know you have good intentions, but seeing that in black and white and the "no one will ever find you..." part. Well, that made me laugh.

Zenkitty wants to make earrings from my teef!

I have a feeling they'll all be available in paperback by the 23rd.

I used to be a fast reader. Now I'm old and tired and fall asleep after about 15 pages, so even though I can read pretty fast, it takes me forever to finish a book.

Right there with you Jessica. I made it to page 36 of my current book before losing consciousness Tuesday night, and am now on 41.

Hm. I could have sworn DH read them in paperback last summer. Maybe they were press copies.

So my boss is out of town. Today a new iPad was delivered here for my boss's wife. So I'm thinking, if I take it home with me, how would anyone know it was actually delivered?

I mean, besides the fact I signed for it.

(Perhaps this plan requires rethinking.)

Drink water, Kate! I remember that being well hydrated helped a lot with the B-H.

Thanks, Burrell! I generally do drink a lot of water, so maybe that's one reason why I haven't had many B-H contractions yet. (Or possibly at all -- like Plei, I haven't been able to figure out for sure if what I'm experiencing at any given moment is B-H or just general discomfort.)

Allyson, I'm a slow reader these days too, and while it frustrates me because I used to read faster and I miss being able to get through as many books as I used to, I think I probably do retain more now that I go more slowly. Anyway, there's certainly no shame in being a slow reader!

Burrell, not so much getting blamed as I know at least one of the guys I support has been getting frustrated and expressing it to a semi-neutral 3rd party.

I of course let him know that I can only work with information I am provided, and then forwarded the travel itenerary people the email where my boss had to update me himself because he was sent the new schedule, but I was not. If the itenerary email people do not fix it immediately I will be ccing the world on future emails.

My immediate and the top boss travels every single week. It is very unusual for him to be here more then 3 days in any week. Of the other 3 bosses, 1 commutes in from out of state every Monday, so knowing when he arrives and departs each Monday and Friday is critical. He and the other 2 probably travel on average every other week for 2-3 days. ANd every single trip goes through at least one change, often 4-5 changes in the week prior to travel.

Hm. I could have sworn DH read them in paperback last summer. Maybe they were press copies.

That seems likely. I can't even find a release date for Catching Fire in paperback.

I actually bought the boxed set in hardback as a gift for a friend just so I could read them before giving them to her. (I pre-cleared this with her.)

So, I know you have good intentions, but seeing that in black and white and the "no one will ever find you..." part. Well, that made me laugh.

Muahaha! We may yet be internet killers!!!!! (Probably not.)

I'm not ALWAYS an Internet axe murderer! I don't even have an axe anymore! Honest!

...you don't have any gold fillings, do you? Just asking.

Why is everything on the internet changing looks? All of the sudden, Amazon is different. And I have had to succumb to the new gmail and facebook finally, and I HATE them both.
